Perhaps we should not use 'contractions' either! I am not the best speller in the world and my grammer is pretty poor as well but, if I spot a mistake by some one else I would not dream of commenting about it. Viv

Thanks ! John, Dave and Sue, I am glad I am not the only one ! and Sue, its not that you are an old fogey like me ! I believe that children learn by example, so why not tell your granddaughter to use the word 'Bye' instead.

as long as we can get the drift of what the person is saying I cant really see what the problem is. Remember on here is a rich tapestry of people, many who have writing/spelling difficulties. Our ways of writing are all different and as long as we dont upset others I cant see why U R worrying. Elaine x

When I talk to my grandaughter on msn or she texts me she always ends with bibi. It took me ages to work that one out - old fogey that I am! Sue (guilty of using 'rellies') :o( xx

Or is it they can't spell? or just too lazy to type it correctly? for example: 'Gonna' and 'Wanna' And this one : 'Rellie's' ? which is used quite often, what are they ?
